Yoga is a scientific discipline. That is something to consider. Yoga is a science, not a state of mind or a state of being. While it is true that the western world has only recently become acquainted with the practise of yoga, it is not a new discipline that has been studied and performed in many nations over the previous century. Yoga is an applied science, a systematised collection of laws used to achieve a certain goal.
It takes the rules of psychology that apply to the unfolding of man’s entire awareness on every plane, in every world, and applies them rationally in a specific circumstance. This rational application of the rules of developing consciousness operates on the same principles that you witness in other branches of science every day. Many of the practices utilized in yoga are also used in more current and recently created psychological or even medial physical exercise disciplines.
As one grows older, he realises that by observing the world around him, he can see how massively man’s intelligence, in collaboration with nature, can speed up “natural” processes, and that the working of intelligence is as “natural” as anything else. The yoga technique not only combines this sense of “cosmos,” but it also works beneath the surface to deepen man’s connection to the universe. We make this distinction, and it is a real one in practise, between “rational” and “natural” growth because human intelligence can guide the working of natural laws; and when it comes to Yoga, we are in the same department of applied science as, say, the scientific farmer or gardener when he applies natural laws of selection to breeding. The farmer or gardener cannot defy nature’s laws, nor can he work against them. He has no other natural laws to deal with save universal laws by which nature evolves forms around us, and yet he does in a few years what nature may take hundreds of thousands of years to accomplish.
This can be accomplished by using human intelligence to select rules that help him and to neutralise regulations that are detrimental to the farmer’s purpose. The farmer uses man’s divine knowledge to harness nature’s divine capabilities that are working for the greater good rather than for specific goals.
We have witnessed many times that yoga can make a significant difference in people’s lives, from the physical practise of yoga to the philosophical implications, through understanding of the science of yoga, all that is yoga integrates into a larger, full discipline that is beneficial to humanity. For some, labelling yoga is a method to allow this to pass as an acceptable form of physical development; for others, it appears to contradict the very spiritual character of yoga, as its various purposes may create the appearance of a single usage.
Will you be able to deal with your stress?
Every day seems to bring more and more stress. Yoga is an excellent approach to cope with the stresses of today’s fast-paced society.
It is now obvious that not all stress is created equal.
All types of stress make demands on your life. Stress becomes negative when you believe the demand is beyond your control.
Yoga is a strong tool for regaining control of your life, helping you to shift the way you perceive demands and so reduce negative stress.
Your yoga programme will face the bad stress in your life, preparing you to meet the demands of positive stress and assisting you to grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.
Hatha Yoga, which is more calming, might be used to unwind after a long day, or you could pick forms of power Yoga, such as Ashtanga, where you can lose yourself in yoga positions that help you improve strength and stamina.
Too many people use unhealthy tactics to cope with a lack of control in their lives.
They turn to alcohol, cigarettes, overwork, narcotics, or simply give up on their life’s hopes and ambitions.
Will you be able to avoid the fate of the trapped monkey who eventually gives up trying to escape their captivity?
Will you let Yoga into your mind, heart, and schedule?
You will be astounded by the outcomes of using relaxation yoga to release yourself from life’s negative stressors.
